See for yourself. ArkansasExtermination (which includes a naughty word in the domain name) is visible without SafeSearch:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=site%3AArkansasExtermination.com&btnG=Search

But when SafeSearch is turned on, it disappears:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=active&q=site%3AArkansasExtermination.com&btnG=Search

A small sample of the other banned-by-SafeSearch domains:
partsexpress.com
alittlegirlsboutique.com
thisisscunthorpe.co.uk
scunthorpedistrictcatsprotection.co.uk
romansinsussex.co.uk

pornkrocks.com
anti-kinderporno.de
girlsschoolofaustin.org
